Have black wheels on my yellow chimaera which I'm please with, and a mate has black wheels on a red Elise

I reckon it could look stunning. I am half tempted to go with black wheels on my (red) BoxS. Wouldn't work on our blue Chimaera...

Are you thinking of the original chim/griff alloys in black or a comletely different wheel?
if it is normal wheels in black i could photoshop you one.
But in no hurry my Computer has 'dropped a bollock', but when its done il do one no probs!

i too have a red chim ,would love to see black wheels might have mine done ,need to see photos/make ups,just paint the old chim wheels.

[raceboy]

I've been shouting at photoshop for far too long now, so if anyone knows how to explain in simple terms how to merge an image of a wheel on to an image of my car I owe you one.
How hard can it be

A quick bash at it:



Done quickly in Photoshop, with a selection mask, then curves and a bit of contrast.

Gold wheels wrongness!!
It's an Impreza in drag.

Black looks much better.

i didnt mean as in the "Chimaera's" wheels i meant as in an after market wheel, such as;
